Sequestration CO2 capture and

It is widely known that CO2 is one of the major greenhouse gases responsible for global warming. Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) has been considered as a means of reducing the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere from fossil fuel use. CO2 hydrates can play an important role both in CO2 capture and sequestration.

HBCC by a single stage. For improvement, this may be combined with a second stage or some other separation methods to increase the efficiency of separation. Some additives such as THF (tetrahydrofuran) can also be added during the separation process to lower the equilibrium pressure for economic and safety concern. HBCC is of high capacity and easy to operate. It is free from contamination because only water is the major raw material. At the same time, CO2 can be stored in hydrates after separation, making it is easier for transport and disposal. Further improvements can be made to increase the energy efficiency and lower the cost of this separation scheme. 

Still in its early stage of development and the evaluation of technical feasibility and environmental impacts is ongoing.

Knowledge of CO2 hydrate formation conditions is very important for rational and design of processes in CO2 capture and sequestration. Several studies have focused on determination of incipient CO2 hydrate formation conditions. The condition at which an infinitesimal amount of hydrate phase is present in equilibrium with liquid phases is referred to as incipient hydrate formation condition [28]. Using different experimental methods, macroscopic hydrate phase equilibrium can be determined... 

However, if a CO2 tax or other penalty is introduced and no other energy carrier than coal is available, the gasification route remains the most efficient in applying CO2 capture and sequestration [31].

Carbon capture and sequestration is a technology that is being explored to curb the anthropogenic emission of C02 into the atmosphere. With the environmental issues and energy crisis problem associated with greenhouse gas effect being more and more prominent, CO2 capture-fixation-conversion has been a worldwide hot topic for sustainable development [1-12].

While, in the short term, the costs of CO2 capture and transport are likely to dominate the cost of carbon sequestration, in the end, the cost of disposal will become more important. There are two major reasons. First, as technologies improve and power plants are designed around the concept of carbon capture, the incremental cost of capturing carbon dioxide will become smaller. Indeed, in some of the zero-emission designs, the capture processes separate CO2 while capturing other pollutants, and thus the net costs of carbon capture may be close to zero. 

Conventional processes for hydrogen production are among major producers of CO2 emissions. It has been proposed recently that CO2 produced in steam reforming or partial oxidation proeesses eould be captured and sequestrated in the ocean or underground. In our work we estimated that the total energy consumption for CO2 sequestration (CO2 capture, pressurization, transportation and injection), will most likely exceed 5,000 kJ per kg of sequestrated CO2. Sinee about 80% of world energy production is based on fossil fuels, this eould potentially result in the production of 0.20-0.25 kg of CO2 per kg of sequestrated CO2. 

Alkanolamines are used in scrubbers to clean streams containing acid gases. Extension of existing applications to new situations involving carbon capture and sequestration of CO2 for environmental reasons will lead to increased demand for these substances. The reaction of ammonia (A) with ethylene oxide (EO) in aqueous solution produces monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), and triethanolamine (TEA). The reactions for stepwise formation of these products are... 

Scenario b) seems to be very optimistic - it results in a constant CO2 mixing ratio of 465 ppm after 2050. It is more likely that carbon capture and sequestration/ storage (CCS) technology (Chapter 2.8.4) becomes important only after 2030 and will capture a maximum of 50 % of the fossil fuel-released CO2. It is also unlikely that the yearly consumption of fossil fuels will be more reduced before 2050 because of the increasing alternative energy source percentage of the total energy consumption. Hence, in 2050 a value of around 500 ppm CO2 seems more likely. 

The development of membrane materials for CO2 capture from flue gas has received much attention during the last decade, clearly as a function of the concern about climate change and the need for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). Many papers have been published (here only a few are being referred to [10,188-191]), but the major challenges for this membrane application are durability of the material over time, as there will be exposure to SO and NO, and very high separation performance needed (flux and selectivity) in order to decrease the needed membrane area for the huge volume gas streams. Very few pilots have been tested around the world only two are mentioned here (i.e., from MTR and NTNU). The number of pilots is expected to increase over the next few years. 

Shell Oil Company has recently patented a process and apparatus for the production of pure hydrogen by steam reforming. This process integrates the steam reforming and shift reaction to produce pure hydrogen with minimal production of CO and virtually no CO in the hydrogen stream, provides for CO2 capture by sequestration, uses a steam reforming MR and is powered by heat from a heater convection section.

Thirdly, the evaluation for CO2 capture should be conducted under a simulated or even an actual flue gas condition, rather than the most often used equilibrium CO2 sorption for the current studies. In our opinion, the international facilities in this field should create the benchmarking materials and further the prototypical materials column, which can be used for the evaluation of the CO2 capture performance of newly emerging capture materials on the same standards. Beyond these considerations, the engineering economics of the new materials must be evaluated upon the scale-up of the materials for industrial applications, and economic models must be established to cover lifecycle CO2 separation, capture, and sequestration costs for various technologies.
